Hi
I was in India earlier this year and did some of what you suggest independently – Your programme sounds a bit ambitious so this is what I did and also what you might consider.

1) Train from Delhi to Kalka
2) Overnight at Kalka
3) Take the “Special” Train to Shimla and have 2 days sightseeing there – Either independently or book a tour at the tourist office on The Ridge
4) Bus to McLeod Ganj and have 2 days sightseeing there Either independently or book a tour at “Ibex Adventure Travels”
5) Taxi to Kangra
6) Narrow gauge train trip to Pathancot
7) Train back to Delhi

Details of the above are on my India page – Pleas refer to the tips sections
You might find them interesting !!
If you need more info then please feel free to drop me a line
Happy Travels
Rob
